Schedulers Provide Vital

By George Comienski
Industrial I'roducts Plant Manager
Congratulations to Tom Jenior and Bill deMeza as recipients
(-f the P. W. Litchfield Awards of Merit. Both Tom and Bill re-ceived
their Litchfield medals for the outstanding job they Rer-formed
last spring in the use of dunnage bags to prevent the
flooding of the City of Winona, Minn.
The devotion to responsibility in getting an emergency handled
by Toni and Bill has been chronicled in detail in publications
• 1•" throughout the nation. However, as it was
j . pointed out in a statement made before the
_i I Plant 2 staff group, it was the work of many
. 17;r 1 people throughout the Goodyear family, along
If.
-A l I U* 4 E with the fine cooperafion of others enlisted in
*.Q-- 1 • the cause by the persuasiveness of. Tom and Bill,
*44.. ' that made the whole thing possible.
Feats of achievement, as performed by Tom
and Bill, are a daily way of life in Goodyear
Comienski Industrial Products in handling of customers'
problems and emergency situations. It is true that the conditions
that occur might not be as spectacular as the case at Winona, but
to the person with the problem they are as real and vital and
demand action.
Last Saturday the men in belt production called my attention
to a letter received from Bill Haas, our field representative in
Albany. We quote from Bill's letter:
•Far too often we field representatives only gripe about the
broken promises and poor deliveries we receive from merchandise
control. In this instance it is quite to the contrary, and I want
to take this opportunity to say well done and thank you to every-one
involved in seeing that the subject order was processed faster
' than anyone believed possible.
66I Would like to quote from a letter written to Mr. H. L. Jink-erson
by Mr. C. J. Powers, President of Berkshire Mill Supply Co.:
:• 40ur customer broke an 18-inch wide bucket elevator belt
which resulted in shutting down certain operati6ns in his· plant.
This customer sought the quickest possible delivery from several
sources and we lost out because we promised 10 days to two
' weeks delivery.'
•Our competitor, who received the order at that time, failed
to deliver within the eight days he specified. Further, after much
telephoning and many delays, advised the customer he could not
deliver until Sept. 3. This was on Aug. 25. The customer immedi-ately
got in touch with us and asked ils to see if we could better
the delivery date.
••The rest is history. On Aug. 26, the order was telephoned to
North Brunswick .where it was in turn entered with Akron, and
the customer forwarded a puhching diagram by airmail special
delivery. The belt, 150 feet of 18-inch. wide Plylon, was then
punched and shipped by All States T.ruck Line on Aug. 28 and
two days later our.customer was installing the belt and had it in
service late that night.
6'Again I want to say thanks to all and quote from Powers'
letter:. •Wozild you please be kind, enough to extend· to.your. per-
042sonnel involved, both in Neiv Brunswick and Akron, our. sincere
gratitude for such an outstanding performance. While we only
know the names of three persons involved, unquestionably there
were several dozen: "
Our customer has advised Bill Haas that as a result of this
performance we can expect a greater •volume of business from his
conipany in· the future. Up Until now our competitor had prac-
, tically 100 pei· cent of their liusiness.
Siich outstanding service has won for Goociyeal· a friend and
i customel•. It wou'ld lie inipossil,le to have either without e•ch
inclividiial doing :i fine job.

Raw Materials
In military operations,
such as Napoleon's invasion
of Russia, battles are fre-quently
won or lost on the
effectiveness of the army's
logistics.
Logistics is the art of or-dering
and supplying the
troops with equipment, food
and ammunition-the tools
of war.
A similar job is performed in
the mantifacturing operations in
Industrial Products. Those chart-ing
the logistics of Industrial
Products are the schedulers in
the merchandise control depart-ment.
It is their responsibility to
•logically" calculate the require-ments
of production so that the
raw materials' of the industry
meet at the right place and at
the right time for employes to
produce the,final product.

of production cycles in handling

the athletic scene at Industrial
Products, but before golf ended,
it produced 11 champions from

League at Mayfair. Winnie is
